Location is the only ask
The app requests location only after you press Enable Location in the weather card. It never asks for camera, microphone, contacts, photos, accessibility, input monitoring, automation, or full disk access.
Privacy policy
The Mac App Store edition of Core-Monitor has no account system, no analytics, and no advertising code. It reads system status to draw its own interface, and that reading stays on your Mac.
The app requests location only after you press Enable Location in the weather card. It never asks for camera, microphone, contacts, photos, accessibility, input monitoring, automation, or full disk access.
The network carries WeatherKit data and the Apple Weather attribution required while weather is active. Nothing else goes out.
Turn weather off in the app, or withdraw location access in macOS System Settings. Everything else keeps working either way.
Questions about this policy go straight to the developer.
